Hi everyone,
just wondering what plans you all have made? I think I will only make it for one day (as usual) so just wondering what everyone else is up to?.
See you at the weekend
Ralph

Hi all, I will be down for the weekend with my wife Roisin, plan to be on the slope around 10.30am if I get on the road on time!

Poor ol’ Bill has back problems, we’ll miss you Bill. Hurry up and get well. That’s an order!!!

JP, you’re bring your wife. Didn’t know she was into gliders. :shock: Er,….has she got any sisters?

Looks as though we’ll be flying off the North slope, right beside the car park. I’ll be up there from around 12 - 1pm Saturday

So who else is coming? ROLL CALL! Sound off guys………

K.

Thanks Keith, I'm hoping I'll be OK for Easter but it's by no means definite.

I should be there for at least 1 day. Hopefully 2.

Hi all,
Looks like Sunday for me, weather looks crap for Saturday. Are NW winds ok on the mountain?
John.

Ralph

Ready to go early for once!

Can see some clear sky on the Mt Leinster webcams

6mph winds so far on avg, but it's still early. Getting stronger apparently...

See you all there in a little while

Just heading off now, hopefully the wind will increase on the slopes, see you all soon!

Morning Men,……(and Roisin)

Down here in Co. Wexford there are large patches of blue sky with floating areas of cumulus passing across from the S.W.
Strong sun shine (on some very wet roads) should help to warm the ground for some possible thermals later.

Wind speed is zero at the moment down here on the surface of the planet, however as I just pointed out the clouds are moving, so maybe we’ll get some wind later.

Temp is 4*C

Here is a picture of the Big L. taken a couple of minutes ago. As you can see there’s lots of cloud out there but he is just visible poking out above it.

(I’m assuming Mount Lienster is a ‘he’ and not a ‘she’. I really don’t know how to asses the gender of a mountain! Anyone got any suggestions? :?: )

At the slope

Good wind and sun so far!

Happy Days · « **Reply #14 on:** March 17, 2012, 11:12:20 AM »

Just having a spot of lunch.

Looking like a lot of shower clouds coming your way Fred.

What’s the wind direction & is there any lift???

Keith
